If Bush never lied about his personal shortcomings, he was making an exception to his normal practices.

He shows up for a photo op at a HeadStart center, praising everyone's efforts to "leave no child behind," at the same time his administration is cutting all funding for the Head Start program. He gives loud public lip services to how much we appreciate "our troops" while cutting veterans' benefits to the bone. Ad infinitum.

Just another weasel, not unlike any other politican of any party in any nation.
